They make the yummiest real authentic teriyaki. Their shrimp yakisoba is also INCREDIBLE! Not to mention their portions are perfectly sized. Truly my favorite! read more

Small portions. I am bias as I come from the west side which is knows for it teriyaki joints. Overall this place is ok. Ordered takeout one evening for first time. Three chicken t dinners and some pot stickers. Came to like $65 without tip so something over $70 in the end. Although the chicken was good, the portions were very small. The rice was on par but again, smaller scoops. Salad was just fine. I will keep looking. Tri cities is obviously lacking in good T joints and this place was no exception. I say lower the price a bit or offer more food. $14 should get you a good amount of chicken and rice. Chicken is pretty cheap at Costco (we shop there too). Just my two cents. read more

Their portion sizes are a lot smaller compared to some of the other teriyaki joints in the area. While some places boast their ability to deliver multiple serving sizes, this place strains to catch up. They even slice up the teriyaki meat super thin as if to try and make it last. If anything, this highlights the barebone nature of it all. Still, their tempura was good and crunchy if that's the highlight of your meal. Lettuce from the salad is iceberg per usje. Probably won't be back! read more

We eat here very often! It's my husband's go to comfort food. I miss the option of sushi being on the menu, so if that changes, let me know!

I've loved this place for years! Food is always fresh and service is quick! Definitely a forever customer!

Bento is always amazing! Great size portions and amazing flavor.. Food is made to order so it's always fresh and the quality is wonderful.. Thank you read more

Can't believe I have never tried this place before. And I can't believe I have never manned up and tried sushi before. Ok, it was a California roll but it was a start... I had the bento chicken as well, and man was it good. The sauce to dip the lightly breaded pieces of chicken was awesome. Kinda BBQ, yet so much more. The service was friendly but kinda minimal. Then again I was chowing like a madman so maybe they were afraid to lose a finger to my feeding frenzy... The decor is nice, and the tables are spaced enough apart to make it a cozy but not cramped kind of place. I will surely come here again. read more

Bento Teriyaki - Omg I actually like sushi...well ok Cali roll but still... - Japanese Near Me - Richland, Washington

Ordered Beef fried Rice and two egg rolls. Prooly cooked dish,over cooked rice ,small amount of beef in the dish. Oily egg rolls.

I went for lunch this visit but have been here for dinner as well. The parking lot can be crazy, so choose your path wisely. I ordered miso soup for $1.95 and chicken teriyaki for $8.95 Usually "Bento" places have a lunch bento box special. It's rare that I make it somewhere for a lunch special during the work week so it was kind of disappointing not to see a lunch bento box special having made it for lunch. Miso soup is good,I prefer it with tofu and seaweed - it comes with just green onions. Teriyaki was good and service was fast. read more

Bento Teriyaki - Beef bento plate - Japanese Near Me - Richland, Washington

The food was great but they didn't have any heat that evening, C'mon landlord!! We're definitely going back.

Not something you see everyday -- a teriyaki restaurant with table service! Bento also has sushi and bulgogi. On a Saturday morning, the restaurant quickly filled shortly after the 11:00am opening time. One guy was really busting his butt running around and waiting on all the tables. I ordered the beef bulgogi, miso soup and a side of butterfly shrimp. The miso soup was, well, miso soup. The shrimp was deep-fried and came with a sweet dipping sauce that tasted like pear and was very good. The bulgogi came on an interesting sizzling platter. The platter was wood with a metal dish in its center. The metal dish was shaped like a cow. This might help remind some diners that they were eating the insides of a cow. The reason I ordered the bulgogi because a dude at the next table ordered the bulgolgi and it smelled so delicious! So I was really flummoxed -- the beef in my looked good, but the meat had a terrible off-flavor. Hopefully, it was just a bad batch. Because other than that, this is a quite likeable restaurant. read more

It was a chilly chilly 11degrees out as I finally made my way to Bento (I had been meaning to check out this joint forever, and called in for some take-away). I opened the door was was blanketed in a warm and yummy aroma. I was amazed to see a packed house. There was just one server working the dining area, and she was all over the place. The dining area was nice and cozy, and somewhat cool (for the Tri-Cities). Now for the food. I went with the Chicken Teriyaki meal (complete with two scoops of sticky rice and a side of lettuce...errr...salad). Since I'm a growing boy and am always daring, I had to guinea pig-ify myself and try a sushi roll (the California). The latter was alright. I can't believe how LITTLE wasabi they gave me, I coulda easily snorted what they provided & been fine (luckily I had some at home---the Cub Scout in me--I'm always prepared). The highlight was definitely the chicken teriyaki. The chicken was succulent and the sauce was yummy and paired well with the rice. There are a few beer options here, the menu extensive, and the ambiance is cool---a definite cool, healthy, and economic option. read more

I think Tri-cities people should support smaller Family Owned Restaurant like Bento rather than the thousand chains around the area. Their food was so tasty and good, they have wide selection from Japanese to some Chinese and I even notice Korean food in theri Menu, the place is clean, the people are nice, it's not so crowded and noisy I think I would go back next week to try their other food. read more

Got the chicken teriyaki and it was ok. Nothing special...but it filled the void Service was pretty quick, NO INSIDE SEATING as of this review. read more

I've always liked this place regardless of the portions of the sushi rolls being a little smaller than other places I've seen. I feel like the food is very fresh tasting and high quality here. They have a somewhat limited selection when it comes to their sushi but it's not the focal point of their menu. Their chicken teriyaki is delicious and prices are fair. The service is very polite as well. The waitors/waitresses have always been friendly and forthcoming each time I've been there. Some of their menu items would probably also even appeal to even the pickiest of young mouths that only want chicken nuggets and french fries. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Tri! My go-to's are the chicken or tofu yakisoba and my mom's is chicken teriyaki. We also love to split the tempura vegetables because it's the perfect amount to share and is delicious! Everyone is so friendly and I've always had good service! I've seen some people on here weren't happy with the serving sizes but the yakisoba and teriyaki has always been the perfect amount, in my opinion. I can't really compare to other restaurants' portion sizes but I'm always full and sometimes even have leftovers. This place is a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall and even though it's nowhere near my house, I'm always happy to drive a little farther to get it. I like this one a lotttt more than other's that serve similar food! read more

Tried this restaurant for lunch. The restaurant is at the end of a strip mall and seemed like a popular place. The longer I sat there, the more people came in. They had a lot of menu items I would like to try. Even though I went in for a snack, I ended up getting carried away and ordered too much. This trip, I had the Beef Bento and an Eel Roll. Along with a soda, the price ran about $26. The Eel Roll was good. I would be interested in trying some of their other sushi offerings the next time I go. The price wasn't too bad either. The Bento box came with a large salad, shrimp and vegetable tempura, rice, beef, and a choice of gyoza or egg rolls. I liked the price at around $13.00. It did not come with as much food as I am used to having in a Bento Box and the beef was a bit on the dry side for my taste. It might have been better had I asked for some additional teriyaki sauce. It did have good flavor. On the whole, I would be willing to give this restaurant another shot whenever I am back in town. read more

One of my new favorite places in the Tri-Cities. Great atmosphere, great food, lot's to choose from and very clean and friendly. All of the dishes I have tried so far have been very good. EDIT: Bumped this review up to 5 stars now that I have been back almost a few dozens times and tried almost everything. This place is absolutely amazing and everything I have tried has been incredible. The spicy chicken teriyaki is still my go to dish. But everything is amazing. read more

I just stopped in to Bento teriyaki after driving four hours. I ordered chicken teriyaki so it came with rice,chicken, and salad. It was $10 while the price wasn't steep. I feel like the servings were too small. I was a bit confused as she charged me a couple $.25 extra I did not bother to ask, so I'm not sure if that was for the container or the hot sauce the red hot sauce, I ordered. The customer service was good. However I doubt I would be a return customer. I too, thought the chicken tasted funny. read more

I used to go here a lot and loved it, but recently it has gone downhill. I picked it up today and it was terrible. No flavor and the chicken was very dry. Won't go back. So disappointing read more

It's better than mall food court teriyaki. I ordered the beef teriyaki and it comes with a salad. I am glad that I ordered two because one would have left me hungry. It came to thirty dollars. read more

My love for Bento knows no bounds. First of all, there salad dressing is to die for. So you know that waste of space salad you get at every other teriyaki restaurant? Well at Bento, every part of the meal pulls its own weight. When I get take out from Bento, even if my girlfriend isn't really hungry, she makes me get an extra salad. The Yakisoba is delicious, and I ate a bunch of it, until I discovered how good their teriyaki was. All their teriyaki is soft, juicy and delicious. There Bento is to die for. The tempura is stand out, and their tempura sauce has no rivals. I usually get extra gyoza instead of an egg roll, not a huge fan of their egg roll, but my main complaint is that they are not open on sunday, and it is very hard for one seventh of my life to be sans-Bento. Also, they don't have a huge sushi menu, just 4 or 5 rolls all of which are cooked (the tempura shrimp roll is super tasty though), which keeps Bento from being the only japanese restaurant I go too. read more

After several disappointing food experiences in the Tri-Cities, I was becoming jaded. Jaded people! Then I found this delicious little nugget hiding in a nondescript strip mall. Oh, friends, it was glorious! There is nothing better than a good bento box after a long days work on a nuclear site. The sushi looked fresh and delicious too, though I'm hopeful it did not come downstream from the Hanford site. Eh, what the hell. Take the risk. It's probably delicious too. I can speak for certain that the bento box filled with pork, chicken, sticky rice and plenty of soy was amazing. Damn, I got myself all hungry. Now, please, go experience it for yourself! read more

I know 5 stars seem a bit much for a simple teriyaki joint. But Bento really is that good. We have eaten here over 100 times in the last 4 years or so and we're hoping to make it another 100 at least. The teriyaki is good, the yakisoba is good, the bulgogi is good.... it's all good. Our kiddos like the plain teriyaki but hubby and I prefer the spicy stuff. It's always so consistently delicious and the owners are great. Even the salad dressing is a big yum. It's also been proven that if you consume large amounts of Bento Teriyaki while pregnant, your kids come out cuter and smarter. Just so you know. read more

Is the best restaurant in Washington. So good and so much flavor. If you like Asian food try this restaurant. read more

Bento Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Richland, Washington

Bento is a nice family-owned restaurant. They offer a good teriyaki menu, with some Korean and Chinese items mixed in. Portions are ample and the prices are great. The service is always good and the tables are spaced nicely. The family platters, kid's menu, and Bento options are unique among similar restaurants in town. They are pretty fast. Everything is fresh and tasty. A standout is the sweet and sour chicken. They lightly batter thumb-size morsels of chicken, flash fried and covered with a light and flavorful sauce. I save my 5th star for my local favorites, so Woo's steals this one from Bento. This is a bit more family friendly and just about as good. Again, Bento is a regular on my lunch circuit and definitely worth a try. read more

Definitely good asian food. Nice menu list and big plates. The place is not that compfy and warm, but service and staff are nice and efficient. read more

Went there for lunch with a friend, I live just steps away but had never been there. I have to say I am a huge Sushi fan, that said I was not disappointed in the quality of the food but in the creativity. It's very generic, in my opinion it's a great place for people who are just being initiated to Japanese food. The atmosphere is sterile, very .. again generic. Prices are very correct but this is not a place I would recommend. read more

There are plenty of Teriyaki options in the Tri-Cities. Bento's is a locally owned teriyaki restaurant serving fresh food with plenty of taste. While I've only been a few times, I've got to say that Bento's is quickly becoming a healthy favorite. My personal favorite is the teriyaki chicken. The teriyaki is sweet but not too salty, and their portions are really satisfying. Their Bento boxes each come with your choice of meat teriyaki, steamed rice, salad, vegetable tempura, gyoza, and egg rolls. It's extremely filling, and not at all heavy feeling. Bento's also offers sushi, yakisoba, fried rice, and sizzling barbecue platters. They have a kid's menu, and daily lunch specials. Bento's has a nice seating area and good customer service. My only dislike about the place is that when you walk in, you feel like you're on stage...a little partition here and there would be nice. All in all, it's great food for a decent price. If you're looking for something close to the highway, Bento's is a good bet! read more

I love this place-- it's the best asian restaurant I've been to in the Tri Cities! Try the Spicy BBQ Chicken...it's so good that I haven't tried ordering anything else. Service is always quick and friendly. Prices are reasonable and portion sizes are quite generous. read more

Oh Em Gee. I love this place! We are lucky enough to know the owners, and knew about this place when it very first opened. I cannot get enough of their spicy chicken teriyaki or their gyoza. Anytime I come home the first place i want to go (besides see the family of course) is Bentos. It's like a tradition to go there. The service is always so nice--the owners are soo friendly and are often the ones helping serve you! I can't wait to head home for some teriyaki!!! read more
